Coming from Reddit, the term subreddit was easy. Is there already a short name for Lemmy Communities?

Lemmity?

Lemmunity?

Sublemmit? (My wife's suggestion, now my current favorite.)

But subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.

Also, community is in my opinion

too long to type out for something we will be using very often
the word already has a meaning

It might be better to simply use another dedicated word

I understand, but theyre called subreddits by reddit. Lemmy calls them communities all over the instances. If the users suddenly start calling them something else it would get confusing
